Best way to implement a strip chart?

[jahjeremy]

Hello, everyone.

I had a general question before I get going on a new project. What is the best strategy for implementing a strip chart using JFreeChart? Basically, data values are plotted on the Y axis and time on X. It should "roll" to the right as data values are added in real time. I think typically this is called a "strip chart".

I have seen some examples of doing this using JFreeChart on the web (unofficial). I just wanted to ask the experts what is the best combination of classes in the toolkit to use for this right now in terms of dataset types, renderers, plot classes, etc.

Any special considerations or gotchas?

Thank you!
